"sci-fi version of what he was doing at Neuralink." Everything Elon has claimed about Neuralink is sci-fi. The fact that he used intimidation to get a cameo to market his Neuralink is just f*cked up. I don't think anyone should trust Elon with the technology. #neuroskyence

Just based on the abstract I like this, reading it now and adding it to my noheroes list (sootyempiric.blogspot.com/p/no-heroes-...). philpapers.org/rec/SVOWTG?r...

Why the Great Philosophers Aren’t that Great
Toby Svoboda
Colgate University , United States
tobysvoboda@gmail.com
Abstract: The important philosophers in history aren’t all that great. First, their works
are full of bad arguments, confused concepts, falsehoods, implausible claims, and lack
of clarity. We can see this by using a “peer-review test,” which asks us to evaluate these
claims and arguments as if they were submitted to us as anonymous work. Second, I
make the case that canonizing some philosophers as great is damaging to the
philosophical project of seeking truth regardless of its source. I suggest an alternative
hypothesis. The putatively great philosophers were just intelligent individuals who had
the right ideas at the right time. They are worth reading not because of their intellectual
genius but rather for their creativity and insight, offering novel solutions to certain
problems and noticing implications others had missed. Accordingly, my position does
not entail that the “great” figures are of no philosophical interest. However, we should
do away with the idea of a “great philosopher.” Philosophy might then come to
resemble other disciplines that seek the truth, which generally do not revere their
historically important predecessors.
Keywords: Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Great Philosophers, Hegel, Hume, Kant,
Leibniz, Mill, Nietzsche, Philosophy, Plato

What a united Europe does next will determine future of not only Ukraine but the whole of the continent, and then the whole world. 2025 is going to be about what actions democracies (don’t) take, not what some others say. Actions speak louder than words. Europe it’s your move. Make it a good one.
